What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 July 2023
Pupils love their school. Teachers are kind and help them with their work. Pupils enjoy learning because there are lots of different and interesting subjects. Pupils achieve well in most subjects. Leaders have improved the curriculum since the last inspection. Pupil behaviour is good in class and around the school. The school's behaviour mantra 'onboard' really works. When an adult says, 'On Board,' pupils immediately stop what they are doing, sit up, and listen. Some parents say they use this behaviour mantra at home, and it works for them as well. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school. Pupils have lots of friends. They say bullying is a 'rare event.' If someone is 'mean,' adults rapidly sort this out. Pupils feel safe at school and can talk to an adult if anything is worrying them. This is the same for children in the Reception Year. Learning activities are fun, and children behave well in lessons. Children are well prepared for Year 1. Pupils enjoy a wide range of sports and other clubs. There are many additional activities that promote pupils' good personal development. The on-site forest school has strong links with the curriculum. In addition, pupils learn to work effectively in teams.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, curriculum leaders have not had enough time allocated to them to work effectively with other teachers or to monitor their subjects. This means that teachers have not had sufficient support to effectively teach the subjects and pupils' progress is not consistently strong. Leaders should ensure that all curriculum leaders have the time they need to help teachers with their planning, check their subjects are well taught and that all pupils make strong progress from their starting points.
